[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 582686, member: 25383"] One and one half inches at 1000 yards! WOW! It seems like it was only yesterday when that 16 year old kid tore everything up on the east coast with a Weatherby MK. V. in 300 WBY. mag. From what I hear the guys like the 6.5 because it has a lot less recoil to deal with, but when the wind picks up the big 30's are still the top dog. If all goes well this comming summer, we are going to get access to a military 1000 yard range once a month down the road from me. I plan on shooting at that range, but for sure ain't gonna be shooting anything romotely close to those scores! I plan on shooting a 6BG in an eight twist barrel, but will start out with my 6/250AI. I just gotta figure out how to fit a 6.5 or 7mm into my game plan (I'm thinking 6.5-06 or a .280 improved). I been on that same range before, and it's a very nice range that is very flat (no elevation at all). Everything will have to be shot from the prone position, as there are no benches. Right now we are waiting for the Colonel to give us the go ahead. gary [/QUOTE]
